A total of 82 litters were used in a 21-day
study to evaluate the effect of injecting litters of pigs with dexamethasone within 24 hours of birth on growth rate from birth to weaning. Experimental treatments consisted of ...

A 28-d growth assay was conducted to
determine the effect of phytase dosage and
source on growth performance of nursery pigs.
The nine experimental treatments were control
diets (0.13, 0.18, and 0.23% available
phosphorus) ...

Eighteen pigs (initial weight 25 lb and approximately 5 wk of age) were used in a 14-d trial to determine the effects of an acute Salmonella enterica serotype typhimurium (ST)
disease challenge on both circulating insulinlike ...

A total of 170 weanling pigs (initially 16.4
lb) were used to evaluate the effects of alternative protein sources on growth performance of pigs fed from d 5 to 26 after weaning. All pigs were fed a common diet from weaning ...

We used 144 growing-finishing pigs (72
barrows and 72 gilts; initially 85 lb) to determine the effects of calcium to total phosphorus (Ca:P) ratio on growth performance. Pigs were housed in an environmentally regulated ...

Seven experiments using 7,801 pigs (75 to
265 lb) were conducted to determine the biologic and economic effects of increasing dietary lysine in commercially reared grow-finish pigs. Each study was generally 28 d long and ...

A 28-day experiment was conducted to compare the effects of feeding mannanoligosaccharides (mannan) and sodium chlorate (chlorate) to weanling pigs as a possible substitute for the commonly used antimicrobialcarbadox. Pigs ...

A total of 336 pigs were used in a 21-day
trial to determine the effect of Paylean (9.0
g/ton Ractopamine·HCl) on finishing pig
growth and variation. Pigs were allotted based on weight so that all pens had the same
initial ...

A total of 1,035 gilts were used in a 28-
day trial conducted in a commercial research
facility to determine the influence of ractopamine (PayleanTM) dose (4.5 or 9.0 g/ton) and feeding duration (7, 14, 21, or 28 days ...

A total of 525 weanling pigs (initially 13.0
lb) were used in two experiments to evaluate
the effects of soybean meal source and level
on growth performance of early weaned pigs.
In both experiments, dietary treatments ...

Two trials were completed to determine
the effects of weaning age on growing pig
costs and revenue within a three-site production system. Cost and revenue were measured by applying operationally dependant information to ...

Two trials (n = 5,728 weaned pigs) were
conducted to determine the effects of weaning
age (12 to 21.5 days) on pig performance in a
three-site production system. The second trial also examined the effects of modifying
nursery ...

Pigs (n=2272) were weaned at 12, 15, 18, or 21 days of age to determine the effect of
weaning age on post-weaning belly nosing
behavior and associated umbilical lesions. A
reduction (quadratic, P<0.01) in belly ...

A total of 472 weanling pigs (initially 13.5
lb) were used in two experiments to evaluate
the effects of wheat gluten source (WG) and
combinations with spray-dried animal plasma
(SDAP) on growth performance of ...

A total of 440 weanling pigs (initially 14.3
lb) were used in two studies to evaluate the
effects of increasing wheat gluten (WG) and
spray-dried animal plasma (SDAP) on growth
performance of early weaned pigs. In Exp. ...
